This is a delightful quick bread that is fast and easy to prepare, healthy and delicious. The molasses, which is a good source of calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium, adds a hint of sweetness and nicely compliments the nutty flavour of the emmer flour. It tastes great plain or with a little butter.
Emmer, also known as farro, is a low gluten, nutrient dense grain with a sweet, nutty flavour. If you cannot find emmer in your local stores, simply replace it with kamut or modern whole wheat flour.

Preheat the oven to 160C/325F. Line a standard-size loaf pan with parchment paper.

Whisk together the ground emmer, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add in buttermilk, egg and molasses. Whisk to combine.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with rolled oats. Bake in the middle of hot oven for about an hour until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack. Cool completely.

Angie, indeed...it is a wonderful 'quick' bread for sure, and a savory one, as well! No yeast needed which really speeds up the preparation. Love the molasses added in the mixture, and the oats topping! xo

Molasses adds such a wonderful flavor to bread, but then I love just eating molasses right from the jar. Have never heard of emmer berries so thank you for introducing me to yet another new ingredient! and thanks for a source link. This looks like a great bread for homemade jam.

I always think of bread making as an endless task but this quick bread recipe has definitely changed my view. Not to mention it sounds and looks fabulous! The use of molasses is such a nice touch! Thanks for sharing!
